Now we have emissions trucks stationed on the on ramps and as long as you pass by them twice in 6 months before your tags expire you don't need to go to a station which makes things much easier.

That's actually not bad at all. Can't get away with no cat here haha. Not a chance.

Let me ask my wife............"what? You want to drive my car to Cali to do what to it?" She will say. She say I have my Subi and truck and doesn't know why I do anything to her car.

My wife likes the fogs,badge and whiskers dipped but the plate bothers her since she thinks she's going to get pulled over for it but that was a year ago and in that time I've been pulled over twice for speeding and once thru a DUI checkpoint and the plate was never mentioned.
